Android is open source software from Google so anyone can develop his own version of Android OS, that’s why many smartphone companies and developers around the world build thier own custom skin version of Android to install on thier smartphones with additional changes in user interface and extra features.
We have numerous custom Android OS softwares from smartphone companies and developers on XDA portal, however MIUI from Xiaomi Inc. is considered as best and popular custom skin software build on Android OS, eventhough many people prefer pure stock Android OS on smartphones over MIUI.
Anyhow, there are many custom Android softwares alternatives to MIUI like One UI Oxygen OS, Nubia UI, FIUI etc from popular smartphone companies, usually users who don’t like MIUI use them, however recently we found another alternative to MIUI from Tecno named HiOS.
HiOS is custom skin Android software which resembles MIUI in many areas like extra useful and cool features, themes etc but HiOS preserves the essence of stock Andriod software without altering custom software so that you can experience stock and custom skinned Andriod OS software at the same time.
While, MIUI is heavy skinned custom software build on Android OS thus you won’t get any similarity and resemblence between MIUI and stock Android software, so people who want only custom software can go with MIUI but if you want stock and custom Andriod software experience then HiOS is right now best alternative to MIUI, Oxygen OS, FIUI, Nubia UI etc for sure.
HiOS just like MIUI gone through alot of changes and improvements over the years introducing many advanced new features, so we can’t say HiOS is best compared to MIUI as each individual has his own liking and preferences according to requirement including that you may not find features of HiOS in MIUI and vice versa, so it’s hard to choose one that’s why we will provide list of features so that you can decide which suits you best either HiOS or MIUI, so are you ready?

Overall, MIUI and HiOS got new user interface changes and Improvements to better user experience of users on top of new features, however as we said earlier each individual has his own liking of user interface so we can’t say which is best for you but generally if you want pure custom software then MIUI else incase you want hybrid custom and stock software then HiOS will be assuring for sure.
